Workshops
Spots Now Open For October!
Join us on our Homestead in Terrebonne, Oregon for an immersive training experience!
What To Expect
These workshops are small and personal (6-12 people), designed to help you understand your dog better, clean up your training skills, and leave with a clear plan for what to do next.
Over three days, we’ll work on things like recall, impulse control, focus around distractions, e-collar conditioning, loose leash walking, and everything in-between! All alongside a supportive community of other dog owners who can relate.
What’s Included
Each workshop includes:
Three full days of training from 9:00am–3:00pm (Lunch included!)
Direct coaching for working teams
Personalized feedback on timing, handling, rewards, pressure, and follow-through
Controlled setups to work through your specific training goals
Group discussion and Q&A throughout the weekend
A clearer understanding of your dog’s behavior and how to work with it
A plan for what to continue practicing after the workshop
Working spots are for owners bringing a dog to train. Audit spots are for those who want to learn without bringing a dog into the working environment.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Before You Attend
To get the most out of the workshop, we strongly recommend building some basic skills with your dog. Having clear communication and leash skills and/or e-collar basics will help you advance further over the course of the weekend!
If you need help building these skills, you can join our online membership ahead of time. Get virtual feedback and watch step-by-step tutorials to get an idea of how we will be training!

Please come prepared with:
A slip lead
And/or a Prong Collar (Herm Sprenger Brand, 2.25mm or 3.0)
E-collar (Micro or Mini Educator by E-collar Technologies)
-
Your dog should understand a reward marker like “Yes” before the workshop
You say “Yes!'“ When they do something right
A reward immediately follows
-
Your dog should have some familiarity with following or yielding to leash pressure. It does not need to be perfect, but the concept should not be brand new.
